RE: Saturday Night's all right for fighting gamethread
First off, this feed is much, much better than last night's, thank you Bronco Hockey. It's a smoother feed, and the cameraman is tracking a lot better. Go ahead and optimize your computer for streaming video if it's still choppy for you. Our audio will obviously continue to improve, and the Lunatic's mic is also greatly appreciated. That's a gutsy call by the AD or Murray or whoever, but it is unabashedly honest and true. I love it!
If I may opine further, this is college hockey and we want everyone healthy, but showing replays of scraps and hits would be a great addition. If this was soccer, wrestling, or even golf, they would show the scraps and hits, so it'd be a nice touch. It would have been great to see the Morrison scrap behind the play in the 1st, for example.
I like that we have hard-nosed captains and trust they'll set an example for Murray's signature brand of Bronco Hockey. Unfortunately, our scoring (and thus PP) won't get fixed over night. Last year I think our team worked on the PP most every practice. It takes a sick-handed possession team to really utilize a PP, so until our hands-guys and play-makers emerge, it'll be a challenge winning games. It's tough to enjoy the physicality when we're down a couple.
Go Broncos

Hard to believe we out shot them 10-4 in second, with 7 minutes on the PK

Unfortunately physicality means little when you don't have guys that can drive possession and finish. I fear we've focused too much on size and grit in recruiting and not enough on skill. Hope to be proven wrong.

I think we are ok. Grant it, this weekend was not a good outing and we are not playing good hockey. We have plenty of skill guys, speed, size and grit. We are a very balanced team. They will get it together, it just too bad it wasn't this weekend as UNO was a very beatable team

Disappointing start to the campaign. Hope it sticks in their craw and they buckle down intent on improving.

hurts to lose 2 at home like that to start out. I almost wish we would have started on the road at ND or ST. Cloud

yea, I agree with you. Losing two at home on hurts you more (pairwise) than losing two on the road.
But we couldn't of met UNO at a better time and we failed to take advantage of their in-experience, holes on the blue line and shaky goal tending.
Unfortunately, the next time we meet them (@ UNO) if healthy, allot tougher to beat. We will be better, but so will they
